Haha, this was a good episode. Still waaay too early in my opinion to be hyping and focusing on the Couture/Lesnar fight. (However, I was shocked and pleased to see my high school classmate Ryan Hockensmith doing the interview. Thought he did pretty good too. I liked the “Fedor handshake” comment.)
MMA Live is definitely turning out to be a solid program. I hope some day they put it on the air.
well my mma nerdz- here are my stinky picks and stinky bets
from yours truely! and away we go-
carneiro-ryo chonan = i bet 8 dollers in food stamps on
ryo.
lambert-jmac = i bet 10 disney dollers on j-mac.
brown-stun gun =i bet 5 dingle berrys and a wetnap on stun gun
patt-boetch = i bet half a forty of old english on tim.
nate-martin = i bet a donkykong dildo on marquardt.
batman-thiago=bet a bootle of don perry[bottle only] on thiago.
hendo-palhares = next months welfare check on hendo.
rich-hamill = i bet a fart trapped in a zip lock on ace.
chuck-evans =i bet 3cheese slices and mexicutioners mom-
on chuck liddell
to win me a 2 doller off coupon at the neverland ranch
and an ill puppy
thanks for reading and wish me luck.
on a serious tip-
these r my real bets.
-8k on ryo chonan.
-10k on lambert.
-5k on stun gun.
-5k on boetch.
-10k on nate.
-8k on thiago.
-20k on hendo.
-15k on franklin.
and my bet on chuck above is really my bet.
but i did put 20k on chuck with another book keep.
to win me 11k.
- no parlays this time cause i feel there is no for sure
combos that work out in my favor.
i will be back monday to read what all my fans had to say
so feel free to comment.
So you Bet Some where along the line of 90 grand on this fight……. Ok hmmmmmmmmm.
all favorites?
I noticed that too. All favorites. I like to try and predict at least one dog to win.
I could see Rashad winning a decision. Hopefully I’m wrong
Im taking:
Chuck
Franklin
Palhares
Stun Gun
Lambert (hopefully his 1st weight cut doesnt affect him)
Chonan
Boetsh
chonan/carneiro is a total wild card, impossible to predict that one
I thought that was a easy fight to pick. All Roan can do is work submission. Chonan (and japanese dudes in general) are impossible to submit. Although it was a spit decision I knew Chonan wasn’t loosing this fight. he is a very under rated UFC welterweight! Happy that he got me the win
correction-
i posted that i picked j-mac in my first post
and then mistakenly typed lambert in the second.
so to make things clear i bet 10k on j-mac
not lambert.
im actually watching this event from my hotel.
first time in a while.
chuck-evans =i bet 3cheese slices and mexicutioners mom
and an ill puppy
aaaaaahahahhaahlol060^)(^)(^*-)%$%.. stinky, remember the time you never got 1 pick correct? that was amazing, had cracking up
I had a question for you guys. In your opinion, if Cote upsets Silva, would that be the biggest upset in UFC history? (replacing St.Pierre Serra I).
i think it would be mainly b/c it is more current and gsp has exacted revenge over serra. i do think there are a few more people giving cote a chance than there were people giving serra a chance at the time, but my answer is yes it would be the biggest upset ever in the ufc imo.
For the first time, I like your bets Stinky. You may actually win some this time around.
ISNT’ it funny how dana white said again he’ll wait and sit back for fedor contract to be up and bring him into UFC to fight…. FEdor is #1 dana knows it Randy knows it everyone knows it, Dana would never let Fedor come in beat the crap out of Randy and walk right out of the UFC.. this Fight wont happen.. so long as dana isn’t willing to co-promot.. and yes he said he will but he won’t he’ll do somethign to stop this fight unless its in the UFC and fedor has signed a 3 fight contact maybe more..
@ Ricky
Never say never, man. You may be right; maybe there are too many obstacles. But after the past year, I think it’s apparent to Zuffa that Randy wants Fedor. I think they’ll do everything in their power to get him. Somehow. If Fedor wants the fight, he’ll make it happen. Hey, they might just do a non-title fight. That way they could pull off a one fight deal.
Why would the UFC co promote with anyone?
It doesn’t make any sense for them to do that.
If I was Dana White I would never do it.
Looking forward to UFC88 should be a good one tonight. Bummed about Karo not being able to perform who knows when we’ll see him next. Really looking forward to the other 4 fights on the main card.
Karo has made himself a liability now, axiety will be a big problem now, and grasping a main card return is going to be rough to justify. I don’t buy the injury, I think he broke down, it happens.
@ Ro-J
You have nothing to go on. You just have a feeling that he’s lying? His only liability was in disclosing his problem. Now, people like you accuse him of being a liar. Lotta fighters (and I mean a LOT of fighters) have been accused of inventing injuries to duck fights. Then later they describe in detail what happened, and people are like, “Oh, okay, he was really hurt.” Don’t assume.
This has to be the best MMA-oriented news broadcast. I’ve seen HDNet’s show, which I dig. But his is a cut above. Very well put together. A few misspeaks here and there, but overall it’s just very, very well done.
I agree. I was generally impressed by this, bravo ESPN way to start helping the sport!
i hope it makes it to the tube eventually. ive said it before, i think espn should be able to find and hour a week for this show sometime. most likely on espn2. the previuos shows were 48 minutes, the usual time an hour long show airs with commercials i think. it looked like they were gonna start to air it on t.v. but pulled back. maybee all the randy/brock buzz will help give it a good bump.
Funny.
When they announced Lesnar V Herring, I said that they were going to give him a title shot. Nog got one after a lackluster Herring fight. The shot was handed to Nog too soon, and Lesnar too soon. Nothing new here.
I’ll just enjoy the fight if Lesnar drops the ‘Dry Hump’.
Hammil wins Decision
Evans via tko in 3rd
Call me crazy now, but we can call me genius tomorrow.

I bet StinkyFingers doesn’t have 101K to bet. That’s as close to a sure thing as you can find.
Yea i’ll bet 500 that he doesnt thats what i bet on the whole card.
That was cool seeing Frank Mir show us how to secure that submission.
